[the hell with manners. hanizah is angry. it's my space anyway, so i can use all the four-letter words that i want]
on tuesday haritu i had to follow my master and another lawyer to to melaka for a hearing. i had to be at the perkarangan of our office by 6.45 a.m. being the good chambee that i am, i reached there at 6.20.
the only place up and BUZZLING and BRIGHT was restoran Lotus, a 24-hour mamak restaurant at Jalan TAR, in front of Maju Junction [am i being descriptive enough?]. there were other patrons there also and it seemed the most reasonable place to be, so i parked my car right in front of the restaurant.
since it was quite early, i went inside the restaurant and ordered a drink. then suddenly my bladder failed me, so i juz HAD TO GO TO THE TOILET! [MY FIRST MISTAKE]. i cant go to the toilet in my office building cuz lagi la bahaya]. the toilet at the restaurant is at the back, and another entrance had to be used.
so i went. it was co-ed, and there were 3 toilet stalls, all were empty, and i went into the farthest one [MY SECOND MISTAKE. LADIES, USE THE TOILET NEAREST TO THE EXIT]
when i was inside, someone tried to push open my door. i was TERRIFIED, i tried to think of something. i was thinking of calling someone from my handphone, but who? and what use would that bring - the person on the other line wont be there!
the only viable weapon that i had in my handbag was my carkeys. i placed each key in between my fingers, so that it would have the effect of a knuckle, a type of weapon [which i think was smart, considering it's the only resource that i had, but bart laughed like a gay chicken when i told him. huh!!]
i had this sudden rush of bravery and strength, so i SLAMMED open the door, and as i suspected, there was this guy outside, wearing the Lotus uniform, in front of the 1st stall..
..AND HIS PANTS WAS OPEN, HANGING AT HIS KNEES!!!!!
"oh shit!"
i kept my game-face on, and QUICKLY walked past through to the toilet exit. he had this SICK PSYCHOTIC smile on his face. Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku, Alhamdulillah, he didnt touch me.i quickly rushed to my office building.
after that it occured to me, i shouldve reported it to the restaurant's manager or something, but after a few days, until today, i cant walk past that restaurant without hyper-ventilating and shaking and wanting to cry. i can't go back! [it was so close, that asshole was all ready for action!] so forgive me girls, for i cant put a future rapist in jail.
now do you understand my vulgarity?
i think what made me safe was the surge of bravery. thanks to Allah and that class with Mr. Uva "How To Turn Your Fear Into Anger" [girls, tak payah martial arts ke, pepper-spray sume2 tu. if tak tau nak conquer your fear, tak guna jugak]tapi skarang, im so takut, tapi tu lain cerita
sigh.. im so glad that was over. but on the 17th, i have to go back to melaka for a hearing, which means that i have to go reach KL at 6.30 am again..
i juz PRAY i wont have to use a strange toilet this time..
